It’s quite exciting and inspirational for some. A successful landing is a major accomplishment. The United States remains the only country to have done so. Having said that, other Mars landings were equally exciting and inspirational, especially using the bouncing ball technique. However, the excitement is soon forgotten, and one has to wonder if the repeated Mars rovers are the best way to spend money for unmanned exploration.
Big deal. Who cares. I want to see the flick where the show the guy that is taking these pictures. Did we ever get the flag back that we put there in the late 60’s? We did not land there, somebody else did that for us right?
It is very exciting for our company which was started in our basement. My daughter runs the company now and has “stuff” on the rover. She sent me pictures of it last night but I must admit I have no clue as to what it is!
